SELECTED    LIST    OF    BOOKS    ON    EDUCATIONAL    IM- 
PROVEMENT AND   SOCIAL  REFORM, 
WITH  COMMENTS 


For  Loan  by  the  University  of  Texas 
Department  of  Extension. 


To  help  further  the  educational  and  social  interests  of  our 
State,  the  Extension  Department  of  the  University  of  Texas 
has  perfected  a  plan  for  the  loan  from  the  University  library 
of  books  for  the  use  of  members  of  mothers'  clubs,  parent- 
teacher  associations,  school  and  home  clubs,  and  other  similar 
organizations.  One  of  these  books  will  be  sent  upon  applica- 
tion to  the  Director  of  the  Department  of  Extension  free  of  all 
charge  other  than  mail  or  express  charges  to  and  from  the 
University.  These  books  are  loaned  for  a  period  of  two  weeks, 
but  usuall}^  arrangements  can  be  made  for  a  longer  period 
when  it  is  necessary. 

The  list  contains  one  hundred  and  thirty  titles  on  Boys' 
Clubs,  Child  Study  and  Methods  of  Training  Children,  Citizen- 
ship and  the  Schools,  Home  Economics  and  Dietetics,  Hygiene 
and  Care  of  Infants,  Industrial  Education,  Juvenile  Crime, 
Moral  Education,  Nature  Study,  Plays  and  Games,  Psychology 
and  Pedago^fy,  and  the  Public  Schools.  No  attempt  is  made  to 
offer  an  exhaustive  list  or  to  select  all  the  best  books  on  each 
topic,  but  to  call  attention  to  those  which  will  open  up  the 
subject  and  stimulate  further  study  either  in  the  home  or  in 
the  club.  Every  book  in  the  list  can  be  read  with  profit  by 
any  intelligent  parent  or  club  worker  without  special  technical 
training,  and  deserves  a  place  in  the  home  library.  When  pos- 
sible, books  which  include  extensive  bibliographies  have  been 
selected  in  order  that  the  reader  may  easily  find  further  infor- 
mation on  the  subject  studied.  As  clubs  or  individuals  will 
often  wish  to  buy  some  of  these  books,  the  prices  and  names 
of  publishers,  have  been  given. 

The  compiler.  Prof.  Bird  T.  Baldwin,  of  the  Department  of 
Education  of  the  University,  will  be  glad  to  assist  any  readers 
who  wish  further  suggestions  concerning  other  books  in  these 
particular  fields.
